speedcake Posted February 4, 2018 Share Posted February 4, 2018 Hi all, wasn't sure if this should go in general or PGM. I chose here since it is not my book and I don't have scans anyway, just pics my LCS guy took for me. I'd just like to know what a fair price for Amazing 129 would be in this condition? Main issues are the missing pretty big chunk from back cover and the top right front cover has a piece missing as well as the first couple of pages (small pieces of corner, doesn't impact story or art). Sorry the pics aren't better, I stupidly didn't take my own. There is a light NCB crease along bottom third of right side front cover (where the glare in the image is) as well as a crease between Punisher's legs. I don't think it is that bad overall, glossy and lays flat. Staples are good, nothing is loose. But those missing pieces and the general condition overall makes me obviously want to be careful about how much to consider paying for it. I'm leaning toward just waiting for a nicer one to come along. So what would be a fair price for it in this shape? I have first shot at it at my shop and don't mind owning a low grade, just don't wanna overpay. Thanks for looking! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
speedcake Posted February 4, 2018 Author Share Posted February 4, 2018 I almost walked out with it at $150, but my shop guy wanted to check with his partner first because the partner mostly does comic book pricing. And I think they are going to ask more like $225. But I won't know until tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oakman29 Posted February 4, 2018 Share Posted February 4, 2018 Man the page quality looks to be tan, brown. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
speedcake Posted February 4, 2018 Author Share Posted February 4, 2018 (edited) The back page where the missing chunk is definitely worse than the average page color. The pages aren't too bad, but its pretty low grade for sure. I'm thinking I should just wait. At least for a complete one even in a similar overall grade without the missing chunks. There are a couple of total disasters that sold on ebay recently for 130 to 150 range, so who knows. It's why I'm really hesitating and leaning toward just passing. Unless I got a really good price, which I don't think I'm gonna get on this one. Edited February 4, 2018 by speedcake Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oakman29 Posted February 4, 2018 Share Posted February 4, 2018 If I were you I would save up for a better copy. badback83, nepatkm, speedcake and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ygogolak Posted February 4, 2018 Share Posted February 4, 2018 I wouldn't pay $225 with that big chunk out of the back. They are fishing for a buyer. Probably will get it eventually too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
speedcake Posted February 4, 2018 Author Share Posted February 4, 2018 I don't mind them starting there and negotiating down. I'm just not interested and can wait for a better one to come along. They'll definitely sell it and probably pretty quick. And I hope they do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
